What's your opinion of the shift speed with the paddles? I've mentioned wanting to do this mod before, and was discouraged by the negative feedback commenting on how sluggish the shifts were with the paddles.

I will still do this mod, but the "urgency" has subsided.

Also, were you 1 screw short on reassembly? I've read that one of the new trim pieces will require an additional screw when you reuse your screws. Many say to leave it off, but I am particular, and would need all the screws mounted.

I don't have any complaints on the paddle shifters, as shift speed doesn't seem to be adversely affected. The greatest benefit is being able to drop a gear down and shift without reaching down. As far as the screws, I grabbed a bag of 6mm lock nuts for the paddle posts and some extra screws from Pep Boys. That was plenty. If you need measurements when you get the paddles, send me a PM.

Had the AutokitsX rear diffuser painted (matte black to match my front grille) and installed. Can also see the Tanabe Medallion exhaust that I had done a couple weeks ago. Hotchki's go on tomorrow morning!

Dj1ofDet, that has to be the most low-profile roof-wing I've ever seen. Nice!

What do you think of the color match? It looks a bit whiter than your car in that first pic. Could that be from the fact that light is hitting it from a different angle?

The color match is spot on enough that I can't tell the difference. The difference in color is due to lighting.
